In Memoriam 1950-2022
>A farmer stopped by the local mechanic shop to have his truck fixed.
>They couldn't do it while he waited, so he said he didn't live far and
>Would just walk home.
> >
> >On the way home he stopped at the hardware store and bought a bucket
>and a gallon of paint. He then stopped by the feedstore and picked up a
>couple of chickens and a goose. However, struggling outside the store he
>now had a problem - how to carry his entire purchases home.
> >
> >While he was scratching his head he was approached by a little old
>lady who told him she was lost. She asked, 'Can you tell me how to get
>to 1603 Mockingbird Lane?'
> >
> >The farmer said, 'Well, as a matter of fact, my farm is very close to
>That house. I would walk you there but I can't carry this lot.'
> >
> >The old lady suggested, 'Why don't you put the can of paint in the
>bucket. Carry the bucket in one hand; put a chicken under each arm and
>carry The goose in your other hand?'
> >
> >'Why thank you very much,' he said and proceeded to walk the old girl
>home.
> >
> >On the way he says 'Let's take my short cut and go down this alley.
>We'll be there in no time.'
> >
> >The little old lady looked him over cautiously then said, 'I am a
>Lonely widow without a husband to defend me. How do I know that when we
>get in the alley you won't hold me up against the wall, pull up my
>skirt, and have your way with me?'
> >
> >The farmer said, 'Holy smokes lady! I'm carrying a bucket, gallon of
>paint, two chickens, and a goose. How in the world could I possibly hold
>you Up against the wall and do that?'
> >
> >The old lady replied, 'Set the goose down, cover him with the bucket,
>Put the paint on top of the bucket, and I'll hold the chickens.'
